STOCKHOLM, Jun 02, 2010 (Xinhua) - Cambodia's Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) won the Stockholm Industry Water Award 2010 for its world class performance in water supply and self- sufficiency, according to a statement issued by Stockholm International Water Institute on Wednesday.
"The PPWSA has successfully fought corruption and shown this can be achieved in a developing country on a large-scale basis using simple but effective management techniques that are based on well-accepted business principles and strategies," said the International Award Jury in its citation.
"As a self-sufficient company, operating without subsidies from the state, PPWSA today provides 24-hour service and 90 percent coverage to a city of 1.3 million and fully recovers its costs as it continues to develop both its infrastructure and management," the jury said.
